France - Auvitran SARL - Audio Video Transcoding - is a new technology company recently formed through a spin-off of ex-Digigram SA employees, Yves Ansade, Wlodek Sielski and Jeremie Weber. All three were involved in both research and design, as well as commercial development, at Digigram.

Auvitran will design and manufacture audio, video networking and computer-based solutions and products. Having recently signed a full IP licence with Digigram for its EtherSound technology, Auvitran will focus on this technology over the coming months, as Yves Ansade, who will be the managing director for Auvitran, explains. "Having been heavily involved in EtherSound’s development whilst with Digigram, we were keen to exploit this technology through adding value with our own EtherSound-based products, as well as offering services to other companies in our industry who may wish to leverage it for their own products. We expect EtherSound to be a major part of our business make-up over the coming years."

Wlodek Sielski will be business development director and Jeremie Weber will oversee the R&D operations at Auvitran. Completing the founding group is Robert Morgan-Males who joins in a non-executive director role.
